Some people think that the towns through
which railroads run ought to be allowed to
tax the road aud depot and all railroad
property in the town. 1t Is quite plausible
theory, seemingly, but more equal and
Just as at present collected The present
plan Is for the state to collect a tax of three
per cent on the gross earning of the roads
in hesitate. In that way all the towns in
the state shore equally in the benefits of tie
tax.-JaynesvHie Nsws.
The News has some peculiar ideas
of equity, which carried to the logi-
cal conclusion would force all taxes
into the State treasury iudiscrimi-
nately, that all towns might share
equally. No system of taxation is
equitable that taxes property in oas
locality for the benefit of another.
The whele principle of taxation is
founded upon the idea that property
must pay for the expenses incident
to its protection, and the welfare Of
its owners. The town of Zion has as
much equitable right to share in the
taxes upon individual real-estate To-
Gated in Paynesville. as upon railroad
real-estate located there. The person.

4 sardlne FreIghter Seized.

ST. JoHN, n. b.. Jan. captain Mcleod
of the Canadian cruiser Gen. Middleton has
seized the schooner B. Il. Stevenson in St.
Andrews Bay On charge of having an
American master and crew, though q British
vessel. Orders have been received from OF
tawa to hold the Stevenson until fine of
$4OO is paid by her owners.
The Canadian customs officials say that
this schooner, the Stevenson, is one Of sew
eral vessels engaged in purchasing sardines
in Canadian ports and smuggling them into
Eastport to the factories there. The United
States customs authorities at Eastport, SO the
Canadians say, wink at this violation of the
law 1t is alleged, too, that the American
masters of the British vessels engaged in this
trade claim bounties from both governments,
swearing that they were subjects of each.
These schooners, it is said, were not fishing
schooners, and thus the treaty provisions did
not apply to them. They could buy freely,
and the only way to stop the traffic was that

LocAH's LAST RESTING PLACE.
The Arrangements for His Final In
tef.nsnt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Mrs. Logan will
leave Washington for Chicago the latter part
of this week, for the purpose Of consultation
with officials of that city in regard to the in
terment Of the remains of her husband. She
has signifed her preference for South Park,
the largest and hands0mest of Chicago. but
the city council can only offer the Lake front
park, permission to accord the privilege Of
making tie tomb of the general in the park
she has chosen being only in the power of the
legislature, which meets this week. One of
the first acts, it is thought, of this body, will
lie the passage Of resolution granting the
desired permission. When this is done, it is
not expected there will be much delay in the
ceremonies which will attend the final inter
ment of the Senator's remains.
THE funeral of General Logan will be at
tended with the largest procession of military
and civic organizations ever assembled on a
like occasion in the city of Chicago" said an
Illnoisian last evening. Had Logan's in
terment been in Washington. these organiza-
tions would, undoubtedly, have gone there,
but, as it is, the demonstration of the univer-
sal regret at the death Of the great soldier
and statesman which exists in Illinois will
be reserved until his remains are laid in their
last resting place."

TWO English Adventuresses Arrested.

PARIS, June 1.-Two English adventuresses
have been arrested here charged with an
original form of swindling. The prisoners
give the names of Mrs. Linsay and Miss
Eveline Rappy. The latter is a beautiful
woman and about % years of age. Mrs.
Linsay is older and easily passed as Miss
Rappy's mother, or guardian, as the occa-
sion required. The women caused to be
published advertisements making 1t known
that young widow with million sterling
in her own right, or rich young girl, who had
made false step, was desirious OF forming
a martial alliance with gentleman OF the
right stamp, who could appreciate the sltua-
tion and who bad means sufficient to war
rant that on his side the marriage was not
entirely a speculation. Several Frenchmen
were in turn introduced to Eveline Rappy,
as a result of these advertisements. She en-
gagged herself to number. of these, managing
to keep alive their ardor until she had ex-
hausted their ability to make presents, and
successfully married several Of the more
wealthy, securing the best settlement posi-
BILE and managing to escape with all the
wedding presents and other personal proper
ty obtainable within few hours after the
eeremoney. 1t has transpired that Rappy
played the same game in England with great
financial success. When Miss Rappy realiz-
ed she was prisoner she broke down and
made complete confession.

caucus also the council for the next two
| years will be nominated. 1t is customary
| for the Senators and Representatives of the
| county to which the choice of councillor
| belongs to select mau whose name they
present in the general caucus. The general
caucus nominates him, and he gets the party
vote in the election by the Legislature. But
If the County Senator and Representatives
cannot agree on man, the whole caucus is
obliged to make the choice for them. This
year the counties, whose turn it is to select
councillors are Oxford, Cumberland, Kenne-
bee, Androscoggin, Washington, Hancock
and Waldo. The Hancock county delega-
tion will present to the caucus the name of
County Attorney Warren of Castine, Wash
iugton will present Col. A. B. Sumner of
Lubec, Kennsbec; Kennebec, Elliot Wood of
Winthrop. Androscoggin after three ballots
this evening, selected Setn M. Carter of
Lewiston. Carter had five votes ON the first
two ballots and seven on the last. Oxford
has held no meeting for selecting her man,
but will tomorrow. Eben E. Rand of Locke's
Mills. will be the man without doubt, as he
has five votes pledged to two for Judge
Wording of Bethel Tobias Eastman of
Fryeburg, is hardly an active candidate now.
Among the Waldo county men opinions are
sadly at variance. One man wants Hon
Fred Atwood, of Winterport, for Councillor;
another wants Orrin Learned, Of Burnham
two want ex-senator A. f. Nickerson, and
two more want Hunt, of Liberty. At least,
these were their preferences this afternoon.
They meet again tomorrow at 2 o'clock, and
if they don't agree then they will carry their
troubles before the general caucus and have
the decision made there. This is the course
taken by the Piscataquis delegation two
years ago, when Colonel Joe Peakes was
beaten by Hon. Lambert Sands. In the
Cumberland delegation today there was
state Of things almost il not quite as mixed
as among the Waldo folks. The delegation
will try to make. their choice tomorrow after
neon. Tonight no one knows who
will be elected. On the first ballot at
least three of the Portland delegation will
give their votes for ex-Mayor Marquis F.
King. 1t is also thought that Mr.. Holbrook
of Freeport, will get four or five votes on the
first ballot Hon. T. NJ. Ray of Westbrook,
may also get few votes. But the main
strength of the Cumberland delegation
seems to be wavering between Tobias Lord,
Esq, of Standish, and Andrew Hawes, Esq,
of Deering. There is strong sentiment
that the councillors should come from the |
county, as the city has had it long enough. |
This will render almost impossible the Sc /
lection of any man from Portland. All adj |
NIT that the situation just now is conun- l
drum, but the opinion seems to prevail that |
the choice will finally fail upon Mr.. Lord |
Still Mr.. Hawes will be his formidable and |
perhaps successful competitor.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4-Carpenters of this city

make determined attempt to obtain the
eight hour day on the schedule for the COM
ing season. The plans are now under con-

consolidate the organized carpenters into
one body practically. One plan is for the
delegates from local assemblies to meet and
for the coming season. The second plan is
much favored, and if successful will have an
important bearing on all building operations
hereafter. 1t contemplates the organization
of a district assembly of the Knights of the
building trades exclusively. The call is out
for preliminary meeting of delegates to
found such district assembly, To get a
charter from the general executive board
win probably cause trouble, as it is under
